Hello friends...
I'm sorry for my long absence from communication with many of you. I hope everyone is doing well! I also apologize for the form letter to everyone.

I'm writing to you today, to ask for your help. One of our dogs, Carly has one or possibly two mast cell tumors (malignant/ cancers) and has begun treatments in order to give her a fighting chance. We, as you can imagine, are devastated and heartbroken.

We are currently barely surviving financially, with only small donations, few and far between. There are still 11 dogs here for adoption (21 dogs in total)... all but one are larger and all are mature adults, so you can perhaps imagine our ongoing expenses.

Our request is for anyone who can donate right now, to help us get through this difficult time. Any funds we might have had to care for Carly, have always been used for monthly expenses for all the dogs. We are forever grateful that we were able to rescue all of these dogs, save them from a short-lived life on the streets, and continue trying to find them loving, safe forever homes!

Your donations can go to the non-profit rescue, and only be used for those dogs for adoption, and would be tax deductible. Helping the non-profit at this time, allows us to use some of our own funds for Carly right now instead.

Of course, anyone who wants to donate directly to Carly, is appreciated.

Carly was rescued as a 5 week old puppy, bouncing around on a street in a different area, for hours - all alone. Now, just a young 4 + 1/2 years old, has been the most amazing dog! With your help (and anyone you know) we hope to have many more years ahead with her!

There is a donation link on the SouthCoastSatoRescue.org website, PayPal, or for those of you local, ATH Movil. If you just want to donate directly to Carly, please contact us directly.

Unfortunately, time is of the essence, as she is in a stable place for the second surgery right now, but that could change at any time.

Thank you for anything you can do! Much Love to all 💕🐶

We would like to thank Jibaros of Juana Díaz for hosting us and four of our Satos.

Important information was shared and the food was excellent!

South Coast Sato Rescue in Puerto Rico currently has 12 wonderful adult dogs available for adoption and waiting for their forever homes! Please help us spread the word to anyone who might be looking to adopt, foster or sponsor one of our beautiful rescued Sato dogs. And... we are always grateful for donations on or any day! Right now, we have 2 dogs waiting for their annual vaccines, 3 dogs ready for heartworm tests and 1 boy, Rocky, waiting to be neutered. Rocky is our special boy. He has a congenital heart defect, but that doesn’t slow him down, and the cardiac specialist says he can live a full and active life. He does, however, need special monitoring equipment during his neuter, which brings the cost close to $500. Thank you for your donations and help in spreading the word to get these amazing dogs into the forever homes they deserve!

Spotlight on Lita...
Lita is a beautiful little girl who is the most... Everything!! She is the happiest, has the most energy, most playful! She runs, jumps, leaps or bounces everywhere she goes. She flys around the property... few dogs can keep up with her! She is just a little bundle of joy and s***k. You'll find yourself always smiling or laughing around her! She is 3 years old, spayed and fully vaccinated. Lita is house trained and crate trained. She gets along with all the other dogs and even our cat. She especially loves the big dogs! When she's not running around, she enjoys being a couch potato while chewing on a bone, playing with a toy or just chilling. She knows come and sit - she's very smart and learns quickly. She likes to roll over for belly rubs and to show you all her beautiful tummy spots (mom was part Dalmation we think). Her tongue is adorably long and sticks out just a bit most of the time! Lita needs her forever home... please share her info!

Spotlight on Diego! Diego is looking for his forever home. He is almost 3 years young... he still acts like a big puppy! Diego is neutered and fully vaccinated. He is house trained and crate trained, and gets along great with other dogs, especially small ones. He also loves our house cat, Bronson! He is such a good boy. He will sit and snuggle with you on the couch or lay by your feet. Outside, he runs around and plays with everyone. He loves his toys, and is very good with them - doesn't tear them up. He will bring you a favorite for you to toss and he will jump up and catch it! We think Diego is part Puerto Rican Mastiff... he weighs 93 pounds. Diego loves to go for car rides, enjoys the beach and also did well laying down at a local restaurant. He is a great best friend to hang out with and share the love. If you have room for 2... little Lita is his best friend and is also fully house trained! Thank you! 💕🐕
